Christspeak Phrase of the Day
"Church Family"
When addressing the congregation, the pastor begins "Church Family."
Church family, please remember to pray for...
I noticed this phrase was used countless times during a sermon preached by my daughter's pastor. He's Baptist. Recently a younger elder in my own church (Covenant Fellowship, we're Associate Reformed Presbyterian) is sending emails that always begin with, "Dear Church Family."
Though it may sound a little country, it is important for believers in Christ who worship together in a Church recognize that they are not merely members of an organization, they are family in Christ. Amen.
